I need to make clear that the kid is the ‘hero’ of this thread. I’m at best a well-intended tourist in his life, always at not good times. He bucked history & perhaps his own experience to see my open window & say ‘I’ll give it a chance’ That’s all i am. An open window. A chance

The reason there are so few foreign men in Iraqi prisons is that these are official numbers for those who have been entered into the judicial process. Most Arab foreign fighters who surrendered were killed on the spot or in pre-trial interrogation rooms. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/24/iraqs-post-isis-campaign-of-revenge …https://twitter.com/DRovera/status/1080159649024880641 …
